Dress Up in Black and White 

Last week’s posts were all about fitness wear and this week we are dressing up with a winning color combination. One of my first jobs as a buyer was working for White House Black Market…we wore black and white every day and, since then, I have enjoyed the color combination because it is easy to coordinate, always looks polished and the styles tend to be timeless. Even with a closet, packed with black and white clothing, I always like to add a few pieces each season to incorporate the latest details. 

This asymmetric ruffle midi dress is a lovely dress that will work for a variety of occassions…charity event, wedding or another summer occassion. While the black and white color combination is classic…the ruffle detail and midi silhouette keep updated with this season’s style. Now on sale at www.bloomingdales.com.

If you need a new pair of black pants, give these ruffled cropped pants a try…they are flirty and flattering.  I paired with this gorgeous silk camisole and voila…a winning combination. Camisole available at www.intermixonline.com and pants available at www.bloomingdales.com.

This little black dress is a pretty update…the ruffles and lace make it an incredibly feminine dress, perfect for a hot little date. Just add the blush clutch…available at www.revolve.com.

Stay chic this summer and update your wardrobe with fresh new black and white styles. 

Bisous,

The sleek Sweaty Betty Hat fits snugly on the head. It is perfect for long summer walks because it dries quickly…it also has reflective elements to improve visibility. Available at www.sweatybetty.com.

This gorgeous backpack is trimmed with rose gold zippers and is the perfect size…it is large enough to fit the essentials but not so large that you overstuff and make too heavy. It also accommodates a yoga mat at the bottom. Available at www.sweatybetty.com.

Mid Year Fitness Check-In

It hit me last week that it is almost June. JUNE…by the end, it will be the halfway point of 2018. I am not sure where the time goes but it is going. Which prompted me to check the goals I set at the beginning of the year to measure my progress. 

I am making improvements in all of the areas I wanted…except self care.  Somehow, I am still putting myself lower on the list of priorities than I should. Consistent workouts are still a goal…as are weekly spa nights and inspirational reading. That being said, I am determined to figure it out…and what better way to give yourself some motivation than new workout clothes?!

It is hard to see clearly but this is the most amazing shirt…it says “No Pain, No Champagne”!  Talk about workout motivation…the sports bra and reversible leggings are chic with the black, white and blush color palette. Available at www.sweatybetty.com.

I was super apprehensive about these blush colored leggings but the fabric is absolutely amazing. It is thick and has a nice, smoothing effect, making these leggings incredibly comfortable. The mesh tank is lightweight and perfect for warm weather workouts. Outfit and water bottle available at www.revolve.com. Similar shoes available at www.neimanmarcus.com.

Even when the weather is warm, you cannot beat a cozy sweatshirt for post-workout wear…this one will not disappoint as it is lightweight and super soft. These cropped leggings keep the look light. Sweatshirt, sports bra and leggings available at www.sweatybetty.com.  Shoes available at www.hibbet.com.

Hope these new additions give your summer workouts an extra boost!

Fun Fitness Find: Sexy Sweaties

With workout wear being as fashionable as it is functional, it is no wonder that most of us are totally comfortable running a few errands after hitting the gym or a yoga class. However, you probably don’t feel fresh after sweating…but who really wants to take the time to remove leggings, socks and shoes? Certainly not most women I know…we are all too busy juggling! 

Enter Sexy Sweaties.  This fabulous little invention solves any post-workout-lack-of-freshness concerns. Their tagline “Workout to Wherever in Two Snaps” is absolutely genius. Just snap off the panties, place them in the mesh bag (it comes with them) and you are set. The best part is that you don’t have to sacrifice style…these panties are as pretty as they are practical.

Pretty Pastel Pieces 

 We have talked a lot about florals this Spring but Sweet Tart (yes, the candy) colored pastels are another trend that is receiving a lot of attention.  These soft colors come in a range of colors from pinks to oranges and yellows to mint and all ranges of blue and purple…there is a shade that is flattering on everyone. I love the light mood they create and have highlighted a few of these pretty pastel pieces below. I am hoping these will inspire you to try this lovely color palette. 

This mint colored dress from Alice and Olivia is a pastel hue that is flattering on almost every shade of skin. The feminine and elegant styling make this a truly special piece.  Available at www.neimanmarcus.com. 

This wrap skirt is the color of Sweet Tart candy and pairs perfectly with this soft blouse. Available at www.revolve.com.

This lilac midi dress is delivers serious style at a great price. Just add accessories and it is perfect for all of your Spring parties. Available at www.nordstrom.com. 

Give these and other these pretty pastel pieces a try…my favorites are linked below!

Garden Party Prints

Femininity and florals abound this season…they continue to be the trend I am responding to the most right now.  They feel light, fresh and perfect for the warm temperatures in Miami. These garden party prints can be dressed up or down and look beautiful when accessorized with layered jewelry or statement earrings.  

This easy little top is a warm weather favorite. I like it because it is easy to throw on and makes me feel polished for long days of running around town. You can wear for a morning at the park, a trip to the grocery store and then lunch with the family.  Now on sale at www.saks.com. 

This ruffled silk dress is a flirty find and perfect for a shower, birthday party or other spring occasion. Available at www.bloomingdales.com.

This sleeveless button up shirt is as comfortable as a tee shirt but has twice the style. Pair it with denim or white bottoms and you are set. Available at www.bloomingdales.com.

These garden party prints will create elegant little looks for Summer days!
